Product Submission Policy

We receive many suggestions from persons outside the company relating to the products we manufacture and methods of marketing such products. These suggestions are made by correspondence, by telephone and in some instances by visitors to our offices. Although we welcome and encourage such submission, many of them relate to ideas already well known to us.

For many years we have maintained an active Research and Engineering Department whose efforts have been continuously directed toward developing new products and improving current ones. Other skilled personnel of the company have considerable experience in formulating advertising and selling programs. In view of the diligent work and background of its employees, it is not surprising that many of the suggestions made to the company from the outside are already known or available to it through the efforts of its staff. It is only reasonable that no compensation should be given for the submission of old or previously available ideas.

In order that the rights of both the submitter and the company be clearly defined, the company has an established procedure governing the receipt and consideration of such submissions. Suggestions must be submitted in accordance with the CONDITIONS OF SUBMISSION set forth in this bulletin. If you would like us to consider your suggestion, whether or not it is submitted with the expectancy of possible compensation, you should click on the box indicating you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the CONDITIONS OF SUBMISSION. We will then carefully review your submission and advise you promptly if we wish to acquire any rights in your idea.
